ComplexFieldMapEntry

Type Parameters:

I - The initializer type used to build the many-to-one mapping

K - The type of the key used for indexing

T - The type of the bean being converted

```
public interface ComplexFieldMapEntry<I,K extends java.lang.Comparable<K>,T>
```
Defines the basic functionality necessary for using a many-to-one mapping between columns of a CSV file and bean fields. Such a mapping requires a method of matching multiple fields. This method will require data to initialize itself. Such a mapping also requires a key to index the BeanField that is to be provided for a match.

  - contains
```
boolean contains(K key)
```
    Determines whether or not the given key is contained in this entry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - The key to be located
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether key is represented by this entry
  - getBeanField
```
BeanField<T,K> getBeanField()
```
    Returns:
    
    The BeanField to which this entry maps
  - getInitializer
```
I getInitializer()
```
    Returns the information used to initialize this entry. This information is not guaranteed to be exactly the same as the original value, but is functionally equivalent.

    The original information used to initialize this mapping entry
  - setErrorLocale
```
void setErrorLocale(java.util.Locale errorLocale)
```
